Why have architects of the Iraq War largely failed up? @PeterBeinart says it’s partly because “they’re very tied to the military industrial complex, and they tend to have a set of hawkish, American exceptionalist attitudes.”

In the 20 years since the U.S. invasion of Iraq, legendary anti-war activist Noam Chomsky tells @mehdirhasan, none of our leaders have acknowledged “the most elementary truth: it was the supreme international crime of aggression.”

A criminal indictment may be coming for Donald Trump... but this week, 20 years after the U.S. invaded Iraq, @mehdirhasan asks: Isn’t it finally time to hold George W. Bush accountable for the brutal war and lies he told?

20 years ago, the U.S. launched a brutal and illegal invasion of Iraq. So @mehdihasan asks, what happened to the “architects” responsible for that war? Professional ruin? Criminal charges?
Nah. Roll the tape!

Does Mike Pence deserve a Profile in Courage Award for his latest rebuke of Donald Trump?

After @RepJudyChu called out a GOP colleague for questioning her loyalty to America, he doubled down. It’s outrageous, she tells @mehdirhasan, and it trades "on a stereotype that Asian Americans are foreigners in their own land, no matter how long they've been in this country."
